One of the first trails developed in the area. Good fast DH with some fun bermed turns near the bottom. Also an easy climb

      Update: trail has 2 or 3 double at the start with a few small jumps after then turns into a flow trail with a couple off camber jumps in the middle then back to flow

      There’s pretty much nothing on this trail, there’s two jumps at the very beggining that it looks like somebody random built, and after those it’s just a downhill trail with nothing. Decent trail but don’t expect any features really

      Really fun intro to the area. Flowy and fast with a few surprise switchbacks, but nothing dangerous aside from getting jaw cramps from smiling so much.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
